THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS
"One Horsepower"
(Justin Lansing / Joe Mailander)

I used to drive a Cadillac, right down the passin' lane
I drove it round that city, 'til it drove me insane
So I swapped it for a pick-up truck that I could drive out on the range
But when I saw that beautiful country, I sold that truck for change

[Chorus:]
Now I just drive cattle, from a leather-seated saddle
Comes equipped with 4-leg drive, long as she can stay alive
I always have the windows down as I go riding around
With the radio ringing... or am I just singing?
First gear is walking, second gear is a trot
Lope and gallop are 3 and 4, but we don't use those a lot
She's got a one horsepower engine, and her shocks ain't worth a darn
But I'd rather have her out with me, than parked in some old barn

[Chorus:]
Now I just drive cattle, from a leather-seated saddle
Comes equipped with 4-leg drive, long as she can stay alive
I always have the windows down as I go riding around
With the radio ringing... or am I just singing?

She's lone-star safety rated, even comes voice activated
A gitty up will get her to go, 'n to hit the breaks, just yell out whoooa
Nelly

[Chorus:]
Now I just drive cattle, from a leather-seated saddle
Comes equipped with 4-leg drive, long as she can stay alive
I always have the windows down as I go riding around
With the radio ringing... or am I just singing?

[Outro:]
...Songs that keep her right on course
'Cuz she's a high falootin' rootin' tootin'
Slow commutin', non-pollutin'
One horsepower, two miles an hour, one horse power HORSE!
